Tesla Model S Spare Tires

The Tesla Model S used a 5x120 mm bolt pattern for all models from 2012 to 2024 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.7" to 28.3" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.


The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Tesla Model S years and options. In this case, a 195/55R20 temporary spare tire is the recommendation for all applications. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Tesla Model S spare tire.
